“We are proud to partner with such a well-known and respected flooring manufacturer like AHF Contract, an industry leader in quality, innovation, and design,” said Gene Corvino, President, William M.

William M. Bird Vice President of Sales, John Allen said, “Our entire leadership and sales team is enthusiastic about this new partnership with AHF Contract. We look forward to a long relationship and believe that, together, will grow our commercial business and continue to bring profitable solutions to our valued flooring customers.”

The AHF Contract Portfolio includes Homogeneous Sheet, Heterogeneous Sheet, Inlaid Heterogeneous Sheet, and Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT). These floors are ideal for use in healthcare, assisted living, education, corporate, hospitality, retail, and other institutional interiors.

Within the new Nod to Nature™ contract collection, every design comes in three distinct structures: Rewilding™, Dry Back Traditional LVT; Individuality™, Loose Lay Thick LVT; and Visionary™ SPC Rigid Core. The same designs, including wood, linen, and stone visuals, are offered in multiple constructions so that the customer can select a look in the construction that best suits their needs, making it easy to find the right flooring for any contract space.

All Vinyl Plank & Tile structures offer unique advantages which support commercial space requirements and installation preferences without sacrificing design. All offer a 20-mil commercial wear layer, as well as a 15-year commercial warranty. The coating on the plank and tile products also contains Cleantivity™ protection, which inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew, lowering maintenance efforts and costs.

AHF’s Vinyl Sheet line is designed for healthcare, education, and senior living – 2.0 mm gauge construction which provides a solid durable and stable floor and withstands heavy rolling loads. It is also environmentally responsible – 100% virgin vinyl, with no phthalates or heavy metals.

“Our team is ready to bring AHF Contract’s quality flooring solutions to our customers for their commercial, Main Street, and property management projects,” said Larry Chandler, Senior Sales Director of William Bird Commercial. “We are fully committed to supporting the line with deep inventory, product knowledge, and marketing support.”
